They are very tiny watches, more suited to a child’s wrist than a grown man

As a grown man with child size wrists good I need more options. Most watches I looked at are huge on me. I got a Seiko 5 which fits well though.

As another man in the tiny wrist club, it’s truly heartbreaking to find out that watch that looks so good in pictures looks absurd when you put it on yourself. I really wanted a speedmaster but at least with the metal strap, it’s just too big.

F91W is a truly legendary watch though. It’s what I use 90% of the time although swapping the factory rubber wrist strap with a NATO strap is a worthwhile upgrade. The clasp on the factory strap really likes to break.

I also actually have a Seiko 5 too, very solid budget friendly automatics. Really big modding community too if you want to get into customization.

Yep, some people really need the smaller size. Personally, I’ve got an 8 inch wrist, and anything smaller than 42mm feels tiny on my wrist. I couldn’t physically wear a F91W as the standard strap is just too short to even fit.
